In the News (Thu 24 May 18)

I am a happy wog living in the best country on earth - Oz, natch - and watching the U.S.A have one heck of a big ol' discussion about race, whether some folks want to realise it or not.

Aboriginal people are people, no different to any wog in the country, no different to any skip and if all they are is pissed or diddling their kids then they are disgusting wastful people who deserve our contempt and will not be valued while they persist in that behaviour.

If by this she means the many wogs in Oz have their own culture and like it a lot, then yeah.

Wog is a word with definite and widespread currency in contemporary Australian English, and for the most part it is rarely considered to be the sort of slur or insult that it remains in other parts of the Anglosphere.

Wog is a shortened version of the word polliwog (frequently modified with the word slimy), used for sailors during the Line-crossing ceremony on the first time they cross the equator.

WOG appears on certain types/models of block or check valves, indicating they are suitable for "water-oil-gas" service, where gas normally means natural gas or propane.

Wog is a word with two meanings, one commonly derogatory, the other not.

Wog is also a derogatory slang term in Australian English, specificially directed against people from Italy, Greece and the Balkans though occasionally extending to people from other parts of Europe or the Levant.

Wog is a shortened version of the word polywog, used for sailors during the crossing the line ceremony, on the first time they cross the equator.

Various facetious explanations include the claim that it originated from acronyms for "Westernized/Worthy/Wily Oriental Gentleman" or variants thereof, or for "Workers of Government" or "Wards of Government", used to refer to early immigrants into the United Kingdom.

Winston Churchill] thinks that the 'wogs' begin at Calais." Wigg's coinage, sometimes paraphrased as "Wogs start at the Channel" or "Wogs start at Dover", is commonly used to characterise a stodgy Europhobic viewpoint, and more generally the view that Britain (more commonly England) is inherently separate from (and superior to) the Continent.

It quickly becomes evident that The Wog Boy is not a plot-orientated film, but rather an extended collection of sketch comedy, courtesy of debut co-screenwriter and Melbourne comedian Nick Giannopoulos, who is also the star of the show, the Wog Boy himself.

His philosophy is, if its a wog boy he is, then its a wog boy hell be.

That is fundamentally the plot of the film -- Steves rise to fame -- and for the climax a half-witted incident involving a ludicrous political scam to eliminate the dole is introduced to finish the piece off.

'Wog' is the word used by members of the Church of Scientology for non-scientologists (1), usually in a demeaning sense (2).

The first is that 'wog' existed as a term for negroes in the USA in the 1870s, and that a 'dollywog' is a fl doll.

The 1895 date for the book makes it the most likely origin for the racial wog, to displace it the naval meaning would have to be found to be in use racially earlier than 1929.

Largely, I'd say that the structure of the 12-step groups is something to studied, because they have successfully formed a worldwide network with no membership listings, no dues, and a minimal amount of rules, while remaining very successful in attaining their goals (which are, of course, all goals for the individuals).

WOGs are not armed well enough to be an effective fighting force in mass.

WOGs concentrated in one area are vulnerable and not as much use to society as WOGs spread far and wide.

Since the 70s, the wog label has been extended to include newer immigrants arriving from the Middle East and other parts of Asia, and many have come to identify strongly with it, facing resistance from more assimilated European wogs who harbor racist and anti-Muslim attitudes.

The Heroes 3.5 team welcomes submissions of WoG maps which make use of the new WoG features such as the ability to leave troops by right-clicking on an empty square, town destruction and rebuilding, new 8th level monsters, new others creatures, the three new artifacts, new objects, new dwellings, and the Emissaries of the Gods.

HMMIII WoG is an expansion pack to the Heroes of Might and Magic III shadow of Death game.

WoG 3.58 adds four new creatures to the game: the Sorceress, the Sylvan Centaur, the fiery and frisky Hell Steed, the terribly fearsome Werewolf, and the even more terribly fearsome Dracolich.

The whole Wog phenomenon is a uniquely Australian thing, dating way back to the Wogs Out Of Work stage show, and probably reaching its peak with Acropolis Now, a sitcom which introduced the inimitable Effie to the world.

The Wog Boy is a vehicle for one of the originators of the Wog concept - Nick Giannopoulos.

Steve manages to turn this around to his advantage, and becomes famous as The Wog Boy, spearheading a campaign to improve the employment status of the country.

In the Wake of Gods (WoG for short) is an unofficial fan-created add-on to Heroes of Might and Magic III: The Shadow of Death (also works with Heroes 3 Complete).

The international members of the WoG Team continue to work together to update, expand and improve upon WoG with new and unique content.

WoG is many different things to many different Heroes 3 players (WoGify scripts, new features, custom WoG maps, new monsters, objects and artifacts), but first and foremost it is a highly-customizable toolbox for both map makers and players alike.

Wog Drama and `White Multiculturalists': The Role of Non Anglo-Australian Film and Television Drama in Shaping a National Identity.: An article from: Journal of Australian Studies by Pieter Aquilia (Mar 1, 2001)

Due to a Blatant and uncalled for attack on an associated tournament runner (KittenAngel of MaH) and her being a fellow WoG team member as well I have decided to remove all association with Wizards and Warriors.

The WoG Tournament has to be played on a WoGified map whether it is a random map or one from our maps page or a map from one of the other sites that you wogified.

World of Gothic has posted some infobits (in English) from a 'Gothic III' preview in German print mag PC Games (subscribers got the mag today and it will be available at newsstands on Wednesday).

I'm sure that WorldofGothic is going to have an English translation of this one pretty soon but so far there's only a German report about the recording session for the 'Gothic III' soundtrack that took place in Bochum, Germany a couple of days ago.

The German section of WoG has been updated with links to two 'Gothic III' presentation videos at Gameswelt and Justgamers as well as previews at Gameswelt and Krawall.

The Arabic meaning of Wog is "worthy Oriental gentleman." But the Aussie soldiers' interpretation was something very different as you would readily understand if you knew the type of Arabs that pestered us.

On this site you will find every available piece of information about the Gothic series created by the german company PiranhaBytes.
